"there's a Monster In Me Room"

He lay in his bed Trembling with fear Scared of the monsters That may be near He called for his dad And said “I’m scared” He went under the blankets And covered his head “Where’s no monsters son” “Not in this house here” They are scared of me “Cause I’ll box their ears” With his son reassured Dad switched off the light Kissed son on the head And said “Goodnight” An hour later Came a scream from the room Dad runs up stairs And bursts in with a boom There stood a monster A Hideous gore On this occasion it wasn’t Larry’s mother-in-law Dad didn’t show his fear He kicked it on the knee The monster screamed As it started to bleed Then dad pulled it’s nose And smacked it on the head The monster was in tears And this is what it said: “You hitting” it roared “That’s not fare” “You hurt me knee” “And pulled out a hair” “You big bully” “Why you doing this?” “I just came in here” “To give the child a kiss” Dad rushed to the switch And on came the light He saw the monster A terrible sight Dad’s eyes popped And knew it was the end of his life It was a crossed eyed woman The one he called his beloved wife
